Songs of the Day: Grouplove, Person L, John Nolan, Diggy.

Grouplove-Tongue Tied



Yes, it's the song from the iphone commercial. I've posted Grouplove songs before. Again, check out the whole Never Trust A Happy Song album. I still listen to Love Will Save Your Soul nonstop.


Person L-Untitled



Rediscovering the greatness of Person L. "Well yea, I was going through a change. Well, or a change was going through me...Yea and I was going through a pain
or a pain was going through me." Love it!


John Nolan-Til It's Done to Death



John Nolan, a previous Artist Focus feature artist. He's still amazing solo.


Diggy-Do It Like You (Feat. Jeremih)



See, I listen to mainstream stuff sometimes.

Artist Focus: Aunt Martha

Hey! Another edition of Artist Focus! Today we're focusing on a band called Aunt Martha. These guys are insanely awesome! Their talents are on par with artists like Bon Iver and William Fitzsimmons. Speaking of which, I read or watched somewhere that they went up to a secluded cabin in the woods, to write and record their album. It reminded me of Bon Iver, Justin Vernon did the same thing.

The first song I heard from these guys was called Bloodshot, it was an absolutely amazing song. It's from their earlier EP, called Bloodshot. I loved every song on that EP. Recently, they released a newish album titled, "Norway, ME." I believe that's where the band is from, thus the name. Also, they're coming out with a new acoustic EP called The Abandoned Bedroom Session. So check out both the EPs, album, and cover songs.

Songs of the Day: John West, Abandon Kansas, House of Heroes.

John West-Already There



New from John West. I've posted many of West's songs before. This guy is amazing, and he definitely needs more radio time. Hopefully adding Big Sean to the song, will get him a little more exposure. Kind of like with B.O.B and Bruno Mars. I knew about them way before Nothing On You, but they didn't really get famous in till that song.


Abandon Kansas-The Golden State



Love the vocals, lyrics, and lyrics.


House of Heroes-In the Valley of the Dying Sun



They may not pass for believable soldiers, but the song sure passes for a good song. Check out God Save The Foolish Kings, and other songs.

I've posted song from these guys before. They just have so many good ones, check out the whole album.


Greg Sczebel-I've Got That Feelin'



I've got that feelin' that Greg Sczebel will be more famous. He has a very soulful pop voice, kind of reminds me of Adam Levine.

Songs of the Day: The Royal Sons, Riley & The Roxies, Zak Waters, Noah Gunderson, Jacob Wylde, Michael Nance.

The Royal Sons(Ft. Mariah McManus)-Baby It's Cold Outside



Okay, best modern version of this song. Royal Sons and Mariah is a winning combination. They should do more stuff together.


Riley & The Roxies-OceanGold



This song makes me think of summers, beaches, and girls.


Zak Waters-TNT



Zak Waters will be a big deal one day. I also love his acoustic version of this song, and another one called "Flirt."


Noah Gundersun-Jesus, Jesus



"Because I've been hearing stories about the end of the world. But I'm in love with a girl, and I don't wanna leave her." The lyric to this song is amazing. Some people find it a little controversial, but I don't.


Jacob Wylde-My Soul



Very nice young talent. He has potential.

James Vincent McMorrow-And If My Heart Should Stop



I heard this song a few months ago, I'm still listening to it.


Andrew Belle-Sky's Still Blue



Belle is still doing his thing. Doesn't he sound like a mix of Chris Martin(Coldplay) and Isaac Slade(The Fray)?!


Tigers That Talked-Artificial Cloud



Tigers That Talked is a very underrated band.


The Lighthouse and the Whaler-Under Mountain, Under Ground



Some parts of them reminds me of Bon Iver. I think they're better known for the song White Days. That one is really awesome too.

Sleeping at Last-Turning Page



This song is very romantic. Play it for your woman sometimes.

I actually dig the Unplugged version better.


Pigeon John-So Gangster



This song makes me feel so damn gangster.


Cider Sky-Northern Lights



I definitely like their voices together.

Artist Focus: Jeremy Messersmith

I haven't done an Artist Focus in a while. So this one is dedicated to Jeremy Messersmith.

Jeremy's an indie pop musician from Minneapolis, Minnesota. His first was named The Alcatraz Kid; second, The Silver City; and finally, the more recent The Reluctant Graveyard.

The first song I heard from him was called A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard. I absolutely loved it, and it made me want to check him out more. He has this Ben Gibbard-ish voice, and all of his lyrics are very profound and relatable. It's a treat to listen to him, and you guys should check him out.

A Girl, a Boy, and a Graveyard




Beautiful Children




Love You to Pieces

Songs of the Day: Aunt Martha, Allen Stone, Matt Nathanson.

Aunt Martha-2016



Aunt Martha is amazing! I first heard their song "Bloodshot" and "Neighbor Song." I remember reading or watching somewhere, that the lead singer pulled a Bon Iver, and wrote his songs in a secluded cabin in the woods. Lesson of the day, if you want to make quality music, lock yourself in a cabin.


Allen Stone-Unaware



One word, "Soul."


Matt Nathanson-Love Comes Tumbling Down



I heard this song at work, wrote some of the lyrics, and then googled it. I was like, "Matt Nathanson? Really?" I was already aware of him, but didn't know he sung this song. Then I checked out the rest of his album. It's really great.
